ARK Studio Announces Extensive Roadmap for ARK: Survival Evolved

ARK: Survival Ascended's Extended Content Roadmap Unveiled

Studio Wildcard has released an updated roadmap for ARK: Survival Ascended, detailing content updates extending into late 2026. This Unreal Engine 5 remaster of ARK: Survival Evolved, initially released in early access in November 2023, will receive a steady stream of new content and features.

Key highlights of the roadmap include:

  • Unreal Engine 5.5 Upgrade (March 2025): This significant technical update will bring substantial performance improvements and reinstate Nvidia's frame generation support. It also paves the way for individual DLC map downloads, reducing the overall game size.

  • New Maps and Creatures: The roadmap outlines the addition of several new maps, both free and paid:

    • Free Ragnarok Ascended, Bison (Free Creature), and a Fantastic Tame (April 2025)
    • New Premium Map (June 2025)
    • Free Valguero Ascended, Community-Voted Creature, and Fantastic Tame (August 2025)
    • Free Genesis Ascended Part 1 & Bob's True Tales Part 1 (April 2026)
    • Free Genesis Ascended Part 2 & Bob's True Tales Part 2 (August 2026)
    • Free Fjordur Ascended and Community-Voted Creature (December 2026)
  • Fantastic Tames: A total of six new Fantastic Tames are planned, with three slated for release throughout 2026.

The roadmap provides a high-level overview of the planned content. While specific details about the new premium map and some creature additions are yet to be revealed, players can expect a significant amount of new content over the next two years. Studio Wildcard may also have additional unannounced surprises in store.
